jQuery clone() Method
The clone() method is an inbuilt method in jQuery that is used to make a copy of selected elements including its child nodes, text, and attributes.
Syntax:
$(selector).clone(true|false)
Parameters: This method accepts an optional parameter that could be either true or false specifying whether the event handler should be copied or not.
Return Value: It returns the cloned elements for the selected element.
Example 1: In this example, the clone() method does not contain any parameters.
HTML
<!DOCTYPE html><html> <head> <script src= </script> <!--In this example no parameter is passing to the clone method--> <script> $(document).ready(function () { $("button").click(function () { $("p").clone().appendTo("body"); }); }); </script></head> <body> <p>Welcome to</p> <p>GeeksforGeeks !!!</p> <!-- Click on this method and see the clone element--> <button>Click Me!</button></body> </html> |
Output:
Example 2: In the below code, true is passed to the clone method.
HTML
<!DOCTYPE html><html> <head> <script src= </script> <!-- Here clone method is called with the true passed value --> <script> $(document).ready(function () { $("button").click(function () { $("body").append($("p:first").clone(true)); }); $("p").click(function () { $(this).animate({ fontSize: "+=1px" }); }); }); </script></head> <body> <p>GeeksforGeeks !</p> <p>Hello Writer !</p> <!-- Click on this method and see the clone element --> <button>Click Me!</button></body> </html> |
In this example, the code event handler animate will work when you click on the “GeeksforGeeks” and this will also reflect on the cloned elements.
